Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

So what's up with UWs basketball team?

Found this having to do with the nation's top teams to add talent this year.

5. Washington Huskies (+7.5)

2021-24 average net score: +2.5

2025 ranked players added: +10
No. 13 Wesley Yates III via USC (+4)
No. 39 Desmond Claude via USC (+3)
No. 58 Quimari Peterson via East Tennessee State (+2)
No. 86 Jacob Ognacevic via Lipscomb (+1)

2025 ranked players lost: 0

Washington broke even on star transfers during Mike Hopkins' tenure as coach, adding some well-ranked names -- think No. 30 Keion Brooks Jr. (via Kentucky) in 2022 -- while seeing few exits. Since Danny Sprinkle's arrival from Utah State, though, the Huskies have been more active. Some of that was just by virtue of former Aggies players to follow him, as was the case with No. 6 Great Osobor in 2024. But this year's class of additions is deeper, and it would not be surprising to see USC transfers Claude and Yates III lead the Huskies in scoring during their first season in Seattle, as Washington looks to make its first NCAA tournament since 2019.
